Carmen Phillips Autostraddle A master conductor, the audience’s laughter her orchestra to manipulate. Apr 6, 2023 Full Review Sean L. McCarthy Decider Mo’Nique may not be Chappelle, Rock or Schumer, but she has two things they’ve never had yet: an Academy Award, and this level of comedic catharsis. The latter makes this special worth watching and then some. Apr 5, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Caleb D I tried on three occasions to watch it. Just straight profanity laced and not funny. Like i can't even see why the audience was laughing so hard. Its like every curse word elicited laughter, but it just wasn't funny. I only made it 30 minutes into the set. If i paid to see this I would of asked for a refund. Netflix should of stood their ground. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/20/24 Full Review Dana L Terrible. All that fuss about not getting paid, and this is what you came up with? Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/24 Full Review Danielle h Great show Mo ! Don't change up! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/11/24 Full Review radozier3000 I loved it! I've read some of the reviews and I don't see how critics were expecting her to just be up telling jokes, due to her already stating what the show would be about, she stated we would get to know more about her, and that right there told us she's going to have a story to tell, and I LOVED it, it was real and comical. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/11/24 Full Review Sidanii B I watched this after I watched Mo'niques recent interview with Shannon Sharpe on Club Shay Shay. I wasnt expecting much because I have never been a fan of her comedy, so I gave it a shot. Her storytelling lacked a genuine flow. It would seem she told stories as if she was making a larger overarching point but there was no punchline or point at the end. She would make mention of a small or big point then she would go off on a tangent that would be her next story but there was no resolution to the prior story or point she made. She started with her special education bit but it goes kind of unresolved then her mother's inability to read.. It seems cohesive but it was like a build up so a climax that never comes with each story. Also she is wildly articulate (as a saw from the club shay shay interview) but her comedy is so vulgar and crass which doesnt match the elegance she portrays with her hair and wardrobe. I forced myself to sit through the entire thing because I wanted to give it a chance but if I am being honest.. it was really bad. There were a couple chuckle worthy moments but I would never watch this again. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/24 Full Review Deloris T I was expecting something if not great at least good. She came up short of making this a good special. It's clear all the yrs she was not working she was not sharpening her craft😡Netflix was right.
